Earth-90214。

New York in 1939 was still in a rather dark age.

Although many years have passed since the Great Depression, the economy has not recovered much due to the impact of the ongoing war, and the people at the bottom are still being squeezed and living in water and fire.

Six years ago, a hot-blooded young man named Peter Parker, because he was perennially influenced by Aunt Mei's ideals and Uncle Ben's values, resolutely chose to devote himself to journalism, using photos and truth as weapons to fight crime and protect the weak.

However, in such a heavily corrupted city, the ability of a single journalist is very limited.

Until one day later, Peter Parker was being bitten by a poisonous spider emerging from a discarded statue while secretly filming a criminal activity!

After that, he fell into a coma and dreamed of the spider god - Annecy!

When he wakes up from a dream, he discovers that he has gained mysterious spider powers.

From then on, he was given a new lease of life and became. Shadow Spider-Man!

After that, he fought against gangsters, dealt with capitalists who oppressed laborers, eradicated rape and evil again and again, and became a big hero in the eyes of many ordinary people.

At the same time, it has also become a thorn in the side of many people.

Roxy Cinema.

"This video of the fight was filmed three months ago. The location is on the streets of New York, which is also where Shadow Spider-Man last made the road unveiled. ”

"We can see that in the video he stopped a pharmacy robbery. This is already very different from the things he was keen on fighting gangster outliers when he debuted. ”

"Today, when the turbulent era of lawlessness and lawlessness is behind us, and when outlaws such as Al Capone, John Dillinger, the Green Goblins, and the Master Criminals have either been punished or imprisoned, we have to think about this question."

"That is, in today's Eagle Country, do we really need an outlaw vigilante like Shadow Spider-Man?"

In the audience below, there was immediately a discussion about this, and people expressed their opinions.

And among these people, there was a man dressed like a gentleman, with a cane in his hand, looking at the big screen in front of him with burning eyes, and the man who was talking eloquently, said to the female companion next to him: "It's him!" His movements, speed and agility are superb! The blood of Annecy is running in his veins! ”

The companion asked, "So, how can we find him?" Don't tell me you're going to rob a pharmacy or something to get his attention. ”

The man paused and said, "I'll figure it out. Otherwise, wouldn't I have to live by performing for those ignorant low-class people for the rest of my life? I don't want to be like this all the time! ”

As they spoke, they got up and left their seats and walked out of the theater.

"Wow, Dad, look, it's the magician Mysterio!" A child's innocent exclamation sounded next to him, "He can make an elephant disappear out of thin air!" ”

Then, he asked his father with a wistful gaze, "Dad, can we go and see it?" Shall we go? ”

The boy's father touched the boy's head: "I don't have any money to spend on such a second-rate charlatan." Magic or something, it's just a trick."

The boy was a little disappointed, but he immediately saw another poster and said happily: "Dad, why don't we go and see "Jungle Continent"!" They have a thousand monkeys! ”

The boy's father looked at the poster carefully and said with a slight smile: "A thousand monkeys? That's kind of interesting, so let's go and see this. ”

The man talking in the theater paused slightly, and his hand holding the cane clenched suddenly: "Would you rather go to see a monkey than come to see me?" ”

——

Meanwhile.

On the other side of the New York World's Fair.

Shadow Spider-Man Peter Parker is the happiest man in the world at this time.

On his right hand is his dear Aunt Mei, and on his left is the woman he loves the most, MJ.

They talked and laughed along the way, making the Shadow Spider feel completely happy.

Half a year ago, he inadvertently traveled to another world, and soon after he returned, MJ, who had left New York and went to the West to participate in the civil war for three years, was also discharged from the army and returned here.

MJ and he fell in love six years ago, and he originally planned to propose to MJ three years ago, but he didn't expect her to be gone for three years.

Thankfully, she came back safely.

"So. Ladies, what do you want to see? Shadow Spider asked, "How's the 'Dream of the Beauty God' over there?" Everyone said Salvador Dalí was a genius. ”

(PS: Salvador Dalí is a Spanish surrealist artist.) ）

Aunt Mei pursed her lips disdainfully: "Only he himself will say that he is a genius, and he keeps saying it endlessly." ”

The Shadow Spider looked at Aunt Mei, "Don't you like surrealist works, Aunt Mei?" ”

Aunt Mei said: "Dali just put a lobster on the head of a naked woman, and fooled everyone to say that this is 'art', and what kind of 'surrealist' noun is a false head." But in my opinion, he's a joke at best! ”

The Shadow Spider laughed.

is worthy of Aunt Mei, who has been engaged in street propaganda for many years, even if she is old, her mouth is still so sharp.

But at this time, he looked at the "surrealist art" that was watched by many people, but he really felt bored.

Then, he looked to the other side: "Ha! Look, that's the 'Great Mysterio'! What do you think, MJ? Lobster art or magic show? ”

MJ looked at Mysterio: "Well, then magic, or magic will be a little better." ”

So, the three of them bought tickets and entered the "Great Mysterio's Magic Show Venue".

However, for some reason, as soon as he entered the place, the spider senses of the Shadow Spider began to tremble, as if to alert him to the impending danger.

It's just that he looked left and right, but he couldn't find the source of danger.

At this time, the magic show on stage also began.

In full view of everyone, the man called Mysterio tied his hands and feet, and was hung upside down by a rope into a large spherical water tank.

"What you're about to witness is the most dangerous escape show ever"

"Ball of Death!"

"Don't worry about the Great Mysterio being buried underwater before he escapes, because he can hold his breath for up to six minutes in the water!"

"And after three minutes, the generator will feed 50,000 volts into the tank, and all the living creatures in the water will die in an instant."

There are five seconds left, four, three, two, one. So, the show begins! ”

Buzz –

A terrifying electric current poured into the fish tank in an instant, making it glow.

When the light dissipated, I saw that all the fish that were swimming in the water were electrocuted and floated, and the mystery keep, who was completely restrained, disappeared without a trace!

After a while, Mysterio walked out from the side.

The woman in charge of the introduction shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, please give a round of applause to the great mystery guest!" ”

Bang Bang Bang -

Seeing this wonderful performance, the audience no longer spared their applause.

Aunt Mei reluctantly applauded twice and then put it down, sighing, "These fish are so pitiful. ”

MJ was curious: "You say, how did he do it?" ”

Aunt Mei shook her head: "I don't know. I don't know what's going on with the TV, what's going on with Dr. Einstein's cosmic rays, and so on. But I know Peter must have seen it all clearly. ”

So MJ looked at the Shadow Spider: "Then what do you think, great genius?" Smoke and mirrors? ”

Smoke and mirrors refer to the meaning of trickery, which is a common saying in the Eagle Country.

The Shadow Spider hesitated and analyzed: "The 'smoke' he released should be dry ice, they compress the high concentration of carbon dioxide into particles, and when they are put into the water, they will harden, and a thick layer of smoke rises from the bottom."

He said that, but he actually had something else in his mind, because it didn't smell like dry ice.

"When he reappeared, he didn't even get wet." The Shadow Spider continued.

So he didn't even go into the water at all, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to completely dry himself out in such a short time.

He just used some kind of trick to make us think he was in, and that's it.

Combined with your own spider sense.

The Shadow Spider felt that there must be something wrong with it, and her brow furrowed slightly.

MJ smiled and hugged the Shadow Spider's arm and pressed his face to his shoulder, "So you didn't understand it at all, did you?" ”

The softness and warmth transmitted from the arm made the Shadow Spider come back to its senses and smile, "That's right."

But seeing your smile is the best thing.

The three of them left the place laughing and talking.

And where the Shadow Spider doesn't know, a conspiracy unfolds around him.

Backstage of the show.

Mysterio and his girlfriend return after dealing with the avid fans.

Mysterio holds a ball of unknown gas in his hand, covers the void on the surface of the ball, and disperses the smoke from it.

Only then did the mask be removed.

It turned out that under the masks of him and his female companion, they were both wearing a gas mask.

"We hibernate in the Amazon jungle for three years, living with reptiles and poisonous snakes, being eaten alive by mosquitoes, and learning to make this 'magic smoke', and now we have to waste it on pleasing these hillbillies," the female companion said. ”

Without saying a word, Mysterio set aside the magic smoke ball and pulled a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet.

The female companion continued to encourage: "Take it and fool Wilson Fisk, and we will get rich in minutes!" ”

The mystery guest made a pause in his hand, then picked up two wine glasses and set them up, and said as he poured the wine, "Yes, yes." Then he will figure it out after a while and send a killer wearing a gas mask over. We were turned into two poignant corpses in two minutes. No, I still want to maintain a relationship with Fisk. ”

"And, that's just for now."

"As soon as we find Shadow Spider-Man and let his blood flow into my body, Fisk will immediately understand what true power is!"
